Patent CA-2773107-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RUDZIK BOGUSLAW
IPC: F03B17/02
Filed: 2010-09-09
Abstract: A centrifugal engine features a round enclosure centered on an axis and having an outer wall closing the interior around the axis between a base and a cover. An inner surface of the outer wall slopes outwardly away from the axis where the outer wall extends away from the base toward the cover. A liquid is contained within the sealed interior space. A drive system carried with the enclosure is operable to effect rotation of the round enclosure about the axis at sufficient speed to force the liquid outwardly away from the axis against the sloping inner surface of the outer wall and thereby exert pressure against the cover. This force of this pressure displaces the enclosure and the drive system carried therewith in a direction along the axis. Vehicle can employ multiple engines of this type along perpendicular axes to produce movement in different directions.
